They are not even trying to explain what this means, the reason for this is simple: they want to show off, how many times they "protected" their customers, so that they are fooled to believe that AV products actually have value in them.
I worked at Symantec on the reputation team, tools I worked on directly generated the reputation behind the WS.Reputation.1 message. First: file a false positive report at https://submit.symantec.com/false_positive/ . (Options: "When downloading a file", "Norton Internet Security 2012 or Norton AntiVirus 2012", "Download Insight") This goes directly to the team and they should have your programs whitelisted within a…
How can a developer check his or her applications against this without needing to run Norton Internet Security or AV. If this isn't possible, is there a cheap(er) option that I can get my hands on that still includes this reputation check?
Norton has caused a large amount of frustration for our GitHub for Windows users - Symantec will basically block any EXE using MSys, because of its use of the CreateRemoteThread API.

All releases and betas are signed with the Mozilla Corp. cert, there's a separate cert for nightly and Aurora builds, and a third cert for dev builds.

If I'm mistaken, it'd be great to hear about them (I'll ping my contacts there, as well).

Your steps sound nice but in reality it doesn't work out this way (speaking from multiple experiences with your reputation system). First of all, EVERY piece of desktop software my company delivers to users is signed via a known and trusted authority. We knew that would be important and took steps before ever releasing our first piece of desktop software. Secondly, the error message that users are presented with SCAR…
